FACTION PRODIGY 1.0 SKIS 2023

The Prodigy 1 mirrors the shape of the best-selling Prodigy 2, including our award-winning Elliptical Sidecut design and a Full Strength Sidewall for top-notch edge hold. Compared to the Prodigy 2, it’s 10mm narrower underfoot for precise handling in the park and on-piste, and its poplar core is bolstered by the inclusion of ash wood, ensuring it’s ultra strong to withstand heavy stomps. Anti-Chip Micro-Cap construction in the tip and tail plus XL 2.5mm Edges ensures the ski is built to last.

Directional Twin

A considerably skinnier tail width than in the tip provides ultimate downhill performance for attacking the
mountain. A twin tip in the tail encourages playfulness and freestyle attitude, meaning you can ride switch
without problem.

Elliptical Sidecut

Elliptical Radius Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of
the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip
and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and
mounting positions. (Stay tuned for our mounting guide).

XL 2.5mm Edges

7 fractions of a Millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The
2.5mm edges stack an extra 25% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 2.0mm
edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.

Anti-Chip Mirco Cap

Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight,
durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and
torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile joint
that can be prone to chipping.

Full Strength Sidewall

A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and
the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn
as well as protecting the woodcore, edges and topsheet from impact and outside damage.

Mustache Flex

This flex works best for most skiers. Enjoy stability in front of, and behind the binding area to provide
solid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb
all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you. This flex allows for an easier
turn initiation and finish

Polar / Ash Core

Poplar is a light-colored, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having great vibration
absorption capabilities. Ash is a heavier hardwood, that complements Poplar by adding stiffness and
durability. This duo provides excellent hold on hard snow, a solid base for stomping landings and enough
pop and flex to get creative with.
